Hating on the $EC - Mostly Alabama (and a little Georgia too)

[AlabamAlum]

Speaking of tough guys, former Alabama linebacker, Eryk Anders, won his UFC bout yesterday. Improves to 15-7.

Anders was a starting LB on the 2009 team that beat Texas for the NC.

Kentucky at Michigan today at noon. Should be a good game.

Its in London England, so there's likely to be jet lag in play.

M's going to get zapped anyway.

Still found it strange (and sad) he was on during the B10 CCG begging for a playoff spot. You would think Kevin Warren would have a say in it, not a big deal it didn't bother me. I loved Kevin Warren acting like Gary Bettman when he was booed at the podium. He didn't like it.

KW is a douche. He earned those boos.

That’s pretty good.

I saw one yesterday. It's a cheap shot, but I got a chuckle out of it.

"Alabama fans haven't been this pissed since they took the signs off of the fountains."

In a fair world, the SEC CCG halftime show would have had Franklin campaigning that Penn State only lost 2 games- to the #2 and #4 ranked teams earlier in the season AND they decisively beat an SEC team on the road.

Just kidding. That's absurd pushing insanity.

But, Saban still looked like a clown.

It was a really bad take from Saban and made him look undignified. I'll assume it was more about placating the fan base than anything else. It's quite obvious to anyone who follows football that a two loss team that didn't win jack squat isn't going to a four-team playoff.

I felt the same. I actually have some respect for Nick and what he's done at Alabama. But to be begging for a playoff spot during the Big Ten CCG was akin to Scott Frost begging for a 1/2 championship after his Huskerz beat Peyton Manning.

Sad.

It worked for Urban Whiner when he was at Florida the year that M and OSU should have had a rematch in the MNCCG

I think it was so he could have his players see him lobbying for them. I don’t think he really cares about the fans’ feelings. He never has previously.

I don’t like it. They show every coach of every team without an assured spot stumping for his team. Meh.
